Lavender Fruit Iced Tea 薰衣草果茶
After making the Lemon Lavender Teacake, I continued to use the dried lavender to make myself a glass of iced tea. The cool drink was so refreshing with a hint of lavender aroma. Much needed to cool me down in this scorching hot weather.
As a spice, lavender is best known as an important aspect of French cuisine and is an integral ingredient in herbs de Provence seasoning blends. Lavender maybe used on its own to give a delightful floral flavour to tea making, desserts, meats and breads. The flowers can also be layered within sugar infuse with its distinctive aroma for use in cookies and candies. (refer mountain rose herbs)

Hi Ann,
I'm with you …. Sometimes I add abit of dried lavender to my tea too … This lavender fruit iced tea of yours is so refreshingly cooling 😀
Ann, your Lavender Fruit Iced Tea looks very enticing! I have not tried lavender flavor in cakes or drinks. What I know is lavender is such a soothing aroma.

Ann，最近天气好热，可以喝上一杯冰冰凉凉的，心情都倍感凉快啊！
Thanks for the recipes. I am not really fond of pure lavendar tea, so my can of lavendar has been sitting by my bed side for my occasional sniffing 🙁
